St Luke's Day

Up and out of my daughter's apartment in Chicago around 8:30, heading north. Delayed by a couple of errands, I arrived on campus about 11:15. Huddled for a bit with the Secretary of the Board of Directors, looking what's ahead of us today and tomorrow. Lunch in the refectory with students, staff, faculty, and other board members. Board meeting between 2:00 and 4:15. Then Solemn Evensong for St Luke's Day, followed by dinner for the Directors in the Deanery ... which also happens to be the venue of my on-campus lodging.

About Me

I am the 11th Bishop of the Diocese of Springfield in the Episcopal Church. The diocese includes 60 of the 102 counties in Illinois, and stretches from Rantoul in the northeast to the St Louis suburbs in the southwest and the old river town of Cairo in the extreme south. There are 35 worshiping communities that vary widely in size and character. This blog is intended primarily as a record of my daily activities as bishop, and is meant primarily for "internal consumption," though anyone is welcome to stop in and look around. For more substantive reflections, see my personal blog, Confessions of a Carioca.
